Cooking tips

Use firm apples — soft ones dissolve into mush.
The inversion is nerve-wracking. Commit and flip with confidence.
A scoop of vanilla ice cream is never wrong here.

Why this pairing works

Limonene — in your strain and on your plate

The brightest terpene on our list, limonene is the citrus engine behind sativa-leaning, mood-elevating strains. It pairs naturally with bright, acidic dishes and works beautifully as a daytime, social terpene.
